A large, rich, very impressive Himalaya Mine combo specimen! What you have here is a fine balance of sharp quartz crystals, blooms of lavender lepidolite, and multicolored tourmaline. There are two intergrown tourmalines at the top of the specimen, with two intact terminations. The larger one measures about 2 cm across the termination, and is dark green. The other is a very gemmy pink and green (contacted on the back end). The quartz crystals are not just accessories here but really add a lot, with good luster, sharpness and gemminess.
